Hi Sonny and List,

 The Elma <whatever> objects remains a mystery, and while
probably not a meteorite by definition, remains a very seriously studied
material by a number of leading labs and scientists. There are papers
due out on this material soon and we will just have to wait to see what
the professional world has to say about it. Many have already seen some
preliminary chemistry results that were posted, as well as some
microprobe results. If you get into that stuff, then you can probably
see why there is so much controversy over the origin of this material.
Equally interesting are some of the low power microscope images. Adam
Hupe had spearheaded the effort to get this material seen by some of the
best authorities available, and I believe that if not for his excellent
scientific method, this event would be lost forever. Adam had requested
that I re-post some imagery I had provided previously for anyone still
interested in this stuff. A rather low-res composite page can be found
here:

http://home.beld.net/~belugaband/images/ElmaComposite.jpg

If anyone wants some higher resolution imagery, just ask, and I will be
glad to email them to you.

<Again the standard disclaimer: if the word ELMA bothers you, delete
this message and please don't respond to the list.>

Thanks,
Charles IMCA 4351

Hi List,

Does anyone have any new information on the Elma material/glass?

On another subject, there are a few hotels in Tucson with reasonable
rates for next February's show. Many hotels have raised their prices
substantially for that week. We have found a few hotels for $79 per
night and are currently researching the area which would be best suited
for a central location. I will let you know when I get more information.

Thanks,

 Sonny
